:P

I would also have accepted "Nemo" or "Outis".

Yeah.

But it's an in-joke because the character introduces herself as "Nyx" when she first encounters the crew, in prison, in the initial episode of Season 2, before she knows that they call each other by [and self-identify as] their numbers.

Or maybe it's meant to represent Fate? Except that not even the Android makes the connection in-world.

[BTW, the Android is actually my favorite character, probably because the actress playing her can somehow manage to portray so many emotions using only very slight variations on the same basic Wide-Eyed Innocence expression.]
